The "ties damsels to train tracks and twirls evil moustache" trait didn't give you a hint?

Kong Rong stream was shown yesterday. Looked really nice overall. Siege weapons seem a bit overpowered but that is something that can be balanced before release or shortly after.

I can see how Kong Rong can ally himself into a corner if he is not careful, plus the game kinda pushes you into fighting Yuan Shao which can be difficult when playing as Kong Rong, however I suppose if you make good use of your allies you can distract his main forces while you plow into Yuan Shao's side when he is off fighting Gongsun Zan or Cao Cao.

Love the whole trade deals bonus that Kong Rong gets, but I can see that being a bit overpowered as you get bigger and are making tons of money on your own in addition to the trade deals, but I suppose when you get really big more people will be declaring war on you rather then trading with you.

That's what happens when they take a third century game and add a twelfth century artillery piece.

My memory isn't great (especially now when I'm sick) but weren't fortification assaults of this time (at least in China) REALLY nasty because artillery wasn't effective against the defenses? I guess they buffed artillery since they want most cities to fall to assault instead of being staved out (Med I was the last time I remember TW having most sieges ended with starvation).
